The influence of sound location on the responses of auditory neurons in the forebrain of the owl (Tyto alba) was studied directly by using a remotely controlled, movable sound source under free-field, anechoic conditions. Some auditory neurons demonstrated well-defined receptive fields that were (i) restricted both in elevation and in azimuth and (ii) relatively independent of the intensity and the nature of the sound stimulus. The majority of the fields were located frontally and contralateral to the recording site.
在自由场、消声条件下，通过使用遥控可移动声源，直接研究了声音位置对仓鸮（Tyto alba）前脑听觉神经元反应的影响。一些听觉神经元表现出明确的感受野，这些感受野（i）在仰角和方位角上都受到限制，并且（ii）相对独立于声音刺激的强度和性质。大多数感受野位于记录部位的前方和对侧。
